Margaret Fuller left Boston in 1843 to see the American West: Niagara Falls, the Great Lakes by steamboat, Chicago, the Rock River prairies of Illinois, Wisconsin and Mackinac Island. She mixes landscape, poems, reflections on settlers’ wives and sympathetic observation of the Native peoples displaced by them.
Fuller’s first book, a thoughtful early portrait of the frontier Midwest by a leading Transcendentalist. Download the free EPUB.
